Inc ln a toreign and.cruel Invader; cannot discharge that duty without making an earnest Appeal to the Attention of their generous Countrymen, of all ranks, in behalf of a Na tion and ,a Cause so interesting to. all the sympathies of Bri tons. A people contending for their independence, liberties, and security, front foreign tyranny and oppression'—a nation, friendiv in its dispositions,- honourable in ail its national conduct - and charader—fi!ted by political and commercial interests and relations, to he ciOSely connected in alliance and friendship with Great Britain, and now struggling with he roic fortitude, in a, common-.cause, against a cidranon and most formidable toe ; suitZr:ing in ,the arduous conflict the greatest hardships, and enduring - the severest privations, has, surely, 'strong claims of every kind on every inhabitant of theSe islands ; and though toe greatest exertions have, with the general 'pprobation of this nation, been Made by Go vernment to afford the most extensive, speedy,' and edeetnal aids of treasure, arms, aminunition, miluary , stores, equip ments, and clothing, fbr the .maintenance and support-of-the Spanish troops, togf„rther . with thi, succour of large bodies of British soldiers, it is still felt, that the generous manifesta tion of the popular sentiment, and such further aids, of va. rious kinds, as a general and liberal Subscription may sup ply, cannot butliave an eke} animating and consoling. to the Spanish soldier, asd convincing to the Spanish Government and people, of the perfect union in opinion and sentiment which on this subject subsists throughout these islands.

It is with much regret that we this day announce the receipt of intelligence of 'an. opposite tendency to that which reached us yesterday, Paris Papers to t h e 15th inst. were brought over in the FLig of Truce which arrived at Dover yesterday, from Bou- Logue, with Mr. SnAw, the Messenger. These Papers state, that Madrid has capitulated, and fha the French are in possession of that City. The folloyving are the articles in the 21/lon,iieur which re late to that important fat Camp at Madrid; Dec. 4, 18,)g. PA nl3, Dr.c. 13.---The town of Madiid has capi tulatud. Our troops entered it to-day at noon.. [This article is contained in the Moniteurs of the 13th and 14th init.] THIRTLENTH BULLETIN OF Tkit ARMY OF SPAIN: Saint Martin, near Madrid, Dec. a. " On the 29th ult. the head-quarters of the Em peror was removed to the village of Boreguellas. On the 30th, at break of day, the Duke of Beliune presented himself at the foot of the Soma Sierra: A division of 13,000 men' of the Spanish Army of Reserve, defended the passage of the mountains. The 'enemy thought themselves unattackable in that position. They had entrenched the narrow passage called Puerto with 16 pieces of cannon. " The 9th light infantry marched upon the right, the 96th upon the dansway, and the 24th followed by the side of the heights, on the left. General SE- NARMONT, with six pieces of artillery, advanced by tbe causway. The action commenced by the firing of musquetry and cannon. A charge made by Gen. MONTBRUN, at the head of the• Polish light-horse, decided the affair; it was a most brilliant one, and this regiment has covered itself with glory, and proved it was worthy to form a part of the lin- perial Guard. Cannons, flags, muskets, soldiers, all were talien or cut to pieces. Eight Polish light horse were killed upon the cannon, and sixteen have been wounded ; among the latter is Captain DZIVANOSKI; who was dangerously wounded,' and lies almost without hopes of recovery. Major SZGUR, Marshal of the Emperor's, household, charged among the Polish troops, and re- ceived many wounds, one ,of which is very severe. Sixteen pieceS of cannon, ten flags, thirty covered chests, 200 waggons laden with all kinds of bag gage, the military chests of the regimen% are the - fruits of this brilliant affair. Amon the Prisoners,. which are very numerous, are all the Colonels or Lieutenant Colonels of the corps Of the Spanish . di vision ; all the soldiers would have hem ..taken they had not thrown away theirarats, and dispersed in the mountains. ". On the Ist of December the head-quarters of the Emperor were at Saint Augustin, and on the 2d the Duke of. Istria, with the cavalry, commanded the heights of Madrid. rf The infantry could not arrive before the 34. The intelligence which we hitherto received led us to think that this town was suffering under all kinds of disorders, and that the doors were barricaded. " The weather is very fine." The intelligence of the fall of Madrid is further strengthened by an American Vessel which arrived at Plymouth on Thursday afternoon, from L'Qrient, from which place she sailed on Monday.last; and the Captain states, that before he came away be heard that BU . O,N4PARTE and his brother JOSEPH entered Madrid on the 2d instant; and he adds, that the Expedition to. Spain was extremely unpopular in France. The other articles in the. French Papers relate principiilly to the affairs of Turkey, and they state positively that our Negotiations with the Porte are at an :,nd. No intelligence from Spain had reached Govern ment this day when our Paper was put to Press. Dispatches were brought to Ministers this day from the Tagus, but they did not contain any thing particular: Yesterday afternoon another Cabin-if Council was held at the Foreign Office ; at which were present the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earls CAMDEN alld BA• THURST, Lord CASTLEREAGH, Mr. Secretary CAN NING, and Mr. PERCEVAL. - INDIA HOUSE.--Yesterday a Court of Dire&ors was held, when the stations of the following ship's were thus altered, viz. .

PaRSRUJIGII, Novi 26.—They write from Con' stantinople, that the-Conspiracies successively formed against the actual Grand Vizier, by the partizans of the late Sultan, and the Janissaries; have induced IVIVSTAPHA BAIRACTAR to ad with greater severit I than he .has heretofore done against his enemies.-- Executions have greatly increased during the.last six or eight weeks, at, Constantinople, but as dinning[_ justice is very expeditious, no publicity is given to these wrests. It is impossible to learn the details and fads which serve as the basis for condemnation . Besides, they abstain, at present, from speaking at Constantinople of these different events, so that tiler remain enveloped in the most prOlounl secrtcy. We are only assured that the confidence of MUS -. TAPHA BAIRACTAR has been cruelly abused, which has rendered hires very distrustful. In faa, among lb° persons put to death or banished, there are many individuals'who are thought zealous partizans of th@ revolution winch has placed Sultan Mahotnet 13 4 the throne of the OSKANi- ,We are assured that B AC - 4E AG - A; - 'a restless who had always about him a troop-of people, with' out occupation, and who has been beheaded irien 6 ' of the public places, had f o r me d t h e reso l ut ion ° i killing the Grand Vizier; but the project was disc covered by one of his accomplices, and all the Con' spiratOrs, with their Chief, were arrested. We °° longer have any talking at Constantinople of an/ new attempts of the English Envoy, Mr. ADA", t° enter into negotiations with the Porte. It appears that the categorical answers which the Turkish (3 0 " vernment has given at different times,t6 the appro . '. tious, which,, this Minister has made to the Divan, has . induced him' to renounce' his projeEts, We are as' su.red that he will immediately return to England) t° . inform his . Cabinet of the bad success of his. ne4°' tiation.. The public report at Constantinople is ' , that the British, Cabinet had made some overtore4 to the Porte before it. had received, the news. Of th e deposition of Sultan MusrArnA, and_ that it thn more flattered itself with the hope of succeeding , 1: it had corrupted sotrie of the principal Member. s ° the Divan. It was upon the intrigues of these pers °v. ages that England depended for detaching the Pa le from its alliance with France; for to detach c ore easily Sultaq MUSTAPEIA from France, the partlAo of England endeavoured . to persuade 'Sultan Mss' TAPHA that it was France who had compelled, tail SELOI to annihilate, by. degrees, the .T.anis.szttiOA and to create an tauropean army, but the rev.olut -4 0 at Constantinople, and the elevation of MUSTAPS: I : BAIRACTAR to, the place of Qrand derallii all these plans—. Mr. ApAica having heard of this revolt 9 1„ ' ° a . Malta, informed his Government of it, and WO e new instructions. The British Cabinet ordered ° II ' to use every means to gain the new Grand ' and his principal partizans ; he then set out for. the Archipelago, furnished with very large sums of 114. ney ; but the means of corruption Were destrofed4 and he has retired, greatly surprized that his nif e ' r-5 would, not even be listened to. They add, that tlic ; Turkish Government.is very well informed_ with 116 ' that Eng,land has done for the last year to. 89W dis# cord on the Continent ; and that the Grand Vi ie.o BAIRACVER, has declared that he considers, eve r / Power who makes a Common-cause with England as. a lost rower. 4 appears determined that the Turkish Fleet s boll 5 1' not pass the Dardanelles.
